Storyline

The Nielsens are a family of fictional characters from a 1950s sitcom that has been canceled. They have been relocated by the powers-that-be to a real world New Jersey suburb in present day 1991, which is different from the world they know. Lloyd and Honey Neilsen and their two children, Babs and Chucky, try to adopt to this modern world which is very different from their own 1950s world. They use a device called a Turnerizer to switch between color and black-and-white within their home. Mike Duff, the teenage son of the family next door, is the only real-world person who knows their secret. Honey gets him to promise never to reveal that he knows their secret. Lloyd suddenly springs a dinner on Honey that she wasn't expecting, and this time, she can't make a miracle happen. Mike begins to teach her about modern life. Written by
